    I still kind of don't get their business model (if they have any).

    For a user Twitter may have a meaning, but for an investor? I'm too conservative perhaps.

    Their business model is quite simple, it's just like Facebook's. They provide a platform where millions of people go each day, and then they charge people/companies to advertise to their users through sponsored tweets.

    More than if they have or not an business model (which they do and is based on the ads served to their users) the question would be if it is a system that provides economic results for buyers and investors.

    Twitter is having motorization problems for sure. A dollar spent on Twitter is not as good as a dollar spent on Facebook or other advertising sites. Twitter does not turn down anyone who wants to advertise with them because they are so desperate for any advertising.


    I sold put options in Twitter about a month ago believing they had turn things round and the stock continued to trade up, but I was getting real nervous with their earning rumors so decided to buy back my position moments before their earnings was released. Wow, that was the best decision I made this year!

    Twitter stock BLEEDING continues.... I believe this stock is a good buy (based on MAU figures alone and revenue growth) if it reaches $30.

    Anything over and it is still overpriced.

    Does anyone think Twitter will eventually sell to a larger company?

      Yes, they cannot seem to figure it out themselves someone is going to have to figure it out for them. Their CEO seems to be an idiot not even realizing their earnings were horrible. Makes me think a put buy is still in play here.
